NAZISM - You have two cows - the government takes them both and shoots you.
CAPITALISM - You have two cows - you sell one and buy a bull.
TRADE UNIONISM - You have two cows - they take them from you, shoot one, milk the other and
throw away the milk.

Crossing sand is easily done,
If you happen to have one.
Best wishes
